Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 8-bone rack (about 1.5 to 2 pounds) rack of lamb
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the rack of lamb on a cutting board with the meat side up. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Rub the rack of lamb all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Set aside to allow it to come to room temperature.
In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Sear the rack of lamb in the skillet, fat side down, for 3-4 minutes until it is well browned. Turn and sear the back for another 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Brush the seared side of the lamb with Dijon mustard.
Pat the herb mixture onto the mustard-coated side of the rack, packing it firmly to create a crust.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the lamb for 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare.
Remove from the oven and let the lamb rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing into chops.
Serve the herb-crusted lamb chops with your choice of Keto-friendly sides.
